3-0, sort of a revenge. Time to let Cook captain both Tests and ODIs. ECB experiments too much! Couple of years ago Cook wasn't allowed in the ODI team because he was "too slow." They would rather open with 20-30 odd runs scorers just for their SR.

KP's scoring runs at the top, but I don't like it, it feels odd, it irks me. I want him in the middle order!

Install flash block as well... prevents those annoying audio ads from popping up when you watch cricket and the side bar ads

Chrome is a great piece of software.

Yes, England is thrashing the Pakistanis. Pak seems totally bewildered and lost (as in not the outcome of the game, but clueless). Does not any strategy go over to ODI from tests? Where are the fielders around the bat with Hafiz and Ajmal?

Bairstow was the star today in UAE, he was in BD with the Lions, and BD won the series with them. SL-A did not fare as well as BD-A with them. Goes to show, that our rag-tag A team (Due to DPL commitments) has potential. Foster, Foster Foster. Rather than being critical of everything, send out a good thought to the players - once a team is decided send good wishes, it matters - Really. That may be the difference that is needed. A good thought in the heart goes a long way.

When you expect someone to fail - they will. When you expect someone to succeed - they will.
The collective consciousness is a very strong power.

Misbah should not play or lead t20 games. PAk have plenty T20 type players. While Misbah and Asad waste balls .... Afridi and hamdad waits in the player's lounge .... and players like shehzad, Imran Nazir, etc are out of the team.

For ODI, either Misbah or Younis should only play not both. Preferably neither Asad nor Azhar should play. may be Asad, but definetely not Azhar. They have plenty of young agressive batsman who can chase run with decent RR. They should get the chance. Misbah is too defensive captain not siutable for ODi and definitely not for T20.

Selecting off-form Shaeb malik was a joke.

Hopefully Dav will bering some balance...defensive as well as agressive when needed.

Watching some of the Pakistanis in the BPL and seeing how Pakistan flopped in the shorter versions, its clear they need to make some changes. I think their test lineup is fine but no point of having guys like Farhat, Malik, and Azhar in the shorter versions. They really need firepower at the top and I believe Shehzad should come back. I believe he would add another dimension. Azhar Mahmood could be a good option also down the order. Jamshed is another guy who should get chances. Sami I believe should also come back. The guy is a good bowler and deserves another chance.Posted via BC Mobile Edition (Blackberry)
